Bug near Dranske
● Dranske
The westernmost headland of the Wittow peninsula on the island of Rügen is known as the "Bug". The "Bug" begins south of the village of Dranske. The Bug peninsula stretches from Dranske over a distance of 8 km and an area of 500 ha in a south-westerly direction. It is only 55 meters wide at its narrowest point in the northeast, with a maximum width of around 1,500 meters in the southwest. To the west, the Bug joins the Baltic Sea. The northern part of the island of Hiddensee is located in front of it on the Baltic side. The Vitter Bodden borders the Bug to the southwest. To the north-east, the Wieker Bodden and to the south-east the Buger Bodden and the Rassower Strom separate the peninsula from the island of Rügen. The southernmost tip is the Buger Haken. The southern part of the Bug has been part of the Vorpommersche Boddenlandschaft National Park since September 12, 1990. The Bug was a restricted military area for many decades. This allowed nature to develop relatively undisturbed. Guided nature tours of the southern Bug are currently available. Registration takes place via the tourist office in Dranske.
